I don't really see anything in Dante's history that would indicate that he'd be remotely qualified to take the #1 chair even for a day. I suspect he's part of the problem.

Alford is wilting because he let a rapist stay on the Iowa team when he was there. No thanks.

Stepping stone worked very well for X

Exactly. All that means is X is doing pretty good if other high programs want our coach. I’d kill to be in that spot again

Steele wont be leaving on his own accord......

If you're referring to promoting from within, that a different conversation entirely.

We will never be the wealthiest program, and we have never (yet) found the guy who would stay, our Mark Few. I think our formula worked pretty well for a while.

On the flip side, we can all be relieved that nobody is going to want to poach our coach these days! :-)

Every new hire is a gamble. We had a good run going, and finally whiffed. In hindsight, it was the logical move. It just didn’t work out. That happens. Time to face the facts and do what needs to be done.

Hypothetically speaking, if Steele were fired today for the embarrassing display yesterday, who would you have coach the rest of the season? I know it is not going to happen, but just curious.

Remember when we were the little engine that could? Now we're the big engine that jumped the track.
